The Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of the largest art museums in the United States. From world-class collections, exhibitions, programs, and some pretty well-known steps. Don't skip a picture.

Not only did Rocky Balboa run the steps, Mac and Carmen from It's Always Sunny did too. Once you finish your celebratory dance at the top, step inside one of the greatest art museums in the world.
While you are checking out ROCKY make time to go to the PHILADELPHIA ART MUSEUM! It's right behind Rocky (Rocky runs up the Art Museum steps) and home to priceless ART from around the world.
The Rocky statue was first unveiled in RockyIII and was placed at the top of the Art Museum steps. It has since been moved to its current location at the foot and to the right of the Museum steps.
Iconic. But why did they move it from the top of the Art Museum steps? ;-(
Bring your bike or lace up your running shoes. This park is the perfect place to escape the city. (Without actually having to leave.)
Look familiar? The beautiful Boathouse Row is featured in the beginning montage of each episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Rowing teams here are members of the Schuylkill Navy—the oldest amateur athletic governing body in the U.S. At night, the lights along this section of the Schuylkill River create a memorable view.
Since 1963 incredible exhibits have adorned the walls, ceilings, and floors of the ICA, including Andy Warhol, David Graham, and Stefan Sagmeister. Read more.
Cool contemporary art. Multiple levels. Definitely not for everyone but I liked it.
Love this space.
Next to Art Museum, but feels more peaceful/pastoral than most urban parks. Read more.
Located on the magnificent grounds of Philadelphia's Museum of Art, the azalea garden has over four acres of beautiful plants and flowers, just a short stroll away from the Water Works.
MY HAPPY PLACE
Great views of the River, City Skyline and Art Museum.
Don't drink the water.
Win a game of pick up basketball. High-five closest bystander.
After a wonderful day at the Art Museum head up to the North Star Bar for Great Food and Happy Hour with half off select draft beers and out if this world 25 cent wings ( 5 - 7 everyday )!
Be sure to check out the Gallery Café for a snack, or better, a light lunch. The space is sleek and the fare is tasty.
PMA tends to overshadow the Perelman, but I've found plenty of interesting exhibits here. If you're checking out the museum, ask what's on display here and visit
A scenic and accessible place to run, bike, rollerblade or walk. You can get an 8.4 mile loop if you follow the whole path, past Boathouse Row and behind the Art Museum.
Love the rivers edge and the bike trails.
If you cNt drive stay your Ass off the drive n get back on the expressway with all the other rejects!
Comes with the regular ticket for the main art museum, along with Perelman building.
Beautiful grounds. I hope to return in the spring when I'm sure it's spectacular. In winter it's still pretty awesome
Enjoy a trip along the Schuylkill River Trail from Philadelphia to Valley Forge with scenic views of the iconic Philadelphia Art Museum and Boathouse Row.
Leave the narrow path to the runners: for a less crowded bike ride, try Valley Green along the Wissahickon!
95% of us are running or walking and 5% are apparently competing in the Tour de France.
Come to the top of the steps at night for a breath taking view of Philadephia!
Downloaded the theme song on my phone and had it playing as we ran up the stairs. So fun!
If rocky didn't run up the stairs I don't think anyone would now
This historic mansion is home to contemporary multimedia art exhibits and unique public programs. The tavern out back is great for cocktails!
Try the art. It's exquisite.

The small plates at the bar were delicious. Nice brunch menu and not too far from the art museum.
Get the brouwer burger with chicken and frites!
Yummy beers
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
